With the election news this week, it’s time to keep our foot on the gas! 💨 We need to ensure Mamdani does right by sex workers by supporting the city sex worker protection act & continuing to voice support for full decrim. 🫡

I had such a wonderful time celebrating Sex Worker Pride this weekend with my fellow workers. We marched from Washington Square Park and I tabled with my co-organizers on behalf of @decrimny.bsky.social with harm reduction supplies and zines ❤️ Thanks Red Light Disco for organizing!

(1/6) S*x Worker Pride celebrates six years of saying: s*x workers are brilliant, powerful, and tired of your respectability politics.

(1/7) Labor Day isn’t just for the workers or work that the mainstream decides is acceptable. ⬇️

(1/10) Sex work decrim is in the news. Here's what you need to know ⬇️

Not sure how many people fully understand and appreciate the link between sx work and disability. Working a 9-5 isn’t always feasible. When your body and mind are exhausted, it makes a lot of sense to have a profession where you have more flexibility & control! #DisabilityPrideMonth

(1/6) "I remember I saw you and Ceyenne a bunch of other girls, and it was just amazing to see strong Black trans women." This isn't just history, but stories rooted in survival. #PrideMonth

1/8 It’s International S*x Workers Day, and we’re not here for empty words or symbolic gestures. We’re here for action and we need it NOW. #ISWD #DecrimNow #SexWorkIsWork

It's almost #PrideMonth so here's our yearly reminder: SEX WORKERS BELONG AT PRIDE!! ❤️🏳️‍🌈

(1/5) VIRTUAL ADVOCACY ALERT — WEDNESDAY 5/7 🚨 We’re mobilizing online and in full force this Wednesday for a Virtual Advocacy Day in support of #CeciliasAct, a bill that protects the safety and dignity of s*x workers across New York.

(1/7) 7 years ago today, SESTA/FOSTA was signed into law. And sex workers are still paying the price. We said it then, we’ll say it now: FCK SESTA/FOSTA.

Get your tickets! 🎟️ bit.ly/sexdrive2

(1/2) 🔥 THANK YOU!! YOU DID THAT. 🔥 We raised $1,500 to support our work—funding food, stipends & transportation for s*x workers, advocates & community members fighting for full decrim. Huge love to Everybody's Nimble for donating the space & to our talented instructor, Sophia.

We had a great lobby day for Cecilia’s Act this week! This is the bill New York needs and sex workers deserve! Let’s pass it this year! @decrimny.bsky.social @maketheroadny.bsky.social

(1/3) What a success!! 🚨 110+ advocates rallied in Albany to demand the passage of #CeciliasAct (S2513/A3251)—a bill to decriminalize adult consensual s*x work, vacate past convictions, & ensure access to housing, jobs & benefits without fear of criminalization.

(1/2) Today is our advocacy day!! Follow us as we advocate Cecilia's Act for Rights in the S*x Trades S2513/A3251 ( @salazarsenate.bsky.social / @phara4assembly.bsky.social ) and push for real protections, resources, and justice.

(1/5) 🎬✨ Anora may have won five Oscars, but what about the s*x workers still fighting for their rights & safety every single day?

(1/3) 🔥 Today is International Sex Worker Rights Day (#ISWRD). Tomorrow, we fight for safety & dignity at the NYS Capitol for our Advocacy Day. #CeciliasAct

(1/10) This #BlackHistoryMonth , we’re dismantling racist narratives that fuel systemic oppression. The term “pimp” has long been used to criminalize Black men, reinforcing racist stereotypes that justify over-policing and incarceration.

1/8) Cecilia’s Act for Rights in the S*x Trades S2513/A3251 (Salazar/Souffrant Forrest) — Formerly the Stop Violence in the S*x Trades Act (SVSTA) We renamed our bill to honor Cecilia Gentili, a fierce advocate, organizer & co-founder of Decrim NY. Read on to learn more ⬇️

(1/4) Today, we honor the life and legacy of the legendary Cecilia Gentili, co-founder of Decrim NY and a tireless advocate for s*x workers worldwide.

Just as we had suspected and rallied against, Operation Restore Roosevelt has been a total failure. ❌ Read our latest op-ed in @citylimitsnews.bsky.social authored by Decrim NY member, Laura Torlaschi: citylimits.org/2025/01/24/o...

(1/2) S3X WORKERS DESERVE SAFETY. The violence faced by s3x workers is not only systemic but deeply tied to the criminalization of their work. **Espanol abajo**

(1/5) Exciting news! Council Member @tiffanycaban.bsky.social , alongside co-sponsors Erik Bottcher, @chiosse.bsky.social , Crystal Hudson, Shahana Hanif, and @lincolnrestler.bsky.social , introduced a resolution to designate January 31 as Cecilia Gentili Day.

Looking for our SW folks on here! Please point us in the direction of any starter packs you know of. 👀

If you'd like to do something nice today, follow @decrimny.bsky.social on here! We're a coalition of s*x workers and allies working to decriminalize and destigmatize s*x work in the state of New York ❤️👠
